[Sca-cooks] leather cooking vessels

[Micheal]

 I have used a leather cooking vessel and we simply put hot rocks into the 
liquid to heat it . Whether that was right or wrong it is what we did. Oh 
advisory do not use a waxed vessel (shudder), and be prepared to replace it 
sooner then usual. Some times there is less liquid than you think.

Well, thank you Aislinn. But I'm not even a Peer, much less a god!

What is this about Saxon leather cooking vessels? How would you cook
in them? Drop in hot rocks warmed in the fire/coals? I know you
aren't supposed to put pottery vessels over the fire, just coals and
I imagine that leather pots are even less durable.

Yes, you can boil water in a paper cup, but this usually results in
burning away the paper not immersed in the liquid. I doubt you would
want to do that with your leather pot.

Hmmm. I wonder if a "god" ranks higher than a "Peer". :-)
